Link-a-dink-a-doo? (FFXI only)

Anyone have the URL to that chart that graphed how good various foods are vs. levels? I'm making a shopping list for future DRK stuff, and I'm up to foods.

loneguardian, I thought about offering to buy any red curry you skill up on (it gives +7 STR and +24% ATT), but it requires dragon meat and the finished dish appears to sell for 100K a serving. *boggle* How could anyone eat food that's 100K a serving? (Based on prices quoted on boards, I haven't checked an AH yet.)

Bison Steak seems to be another option (+6 STR, +12% ATT), but bison meat must be uber-expensive, too...

Mithkabob (STR +5, +22% ATT) actually seem the next best option, which cannot be right. That's why I'm asking for that link, because I think kabobs were only really good at low levels.

It's odd, but equipment/weapon-wise, I don't have much of anything to buy till 40, and since I already have my sniper's rings, even then I don't have too much. I'm ready, willing, and able to upgrade what I use, but there's nothing I need! Bah.

The only big upcoming choice I have is in the waist slot 40+.

* Tilt belt (40) Acc +5, EVA -5. (I'll have my two sniper's on at this point.)
* Swordbelt +1 (43) DEF 5, ATT +12 (Non-HQ: DEF 4, ATT +10) -- I'm leaning strongly towards this one.
* Life Belt (48) ACC +10 (I'm thinking I really need to start balancing ACC and ATT. I have tons of ACC and I'm hitting lots now, so maybe I need the ATT more?)

Decisions, decisions.

Actually, Mithkabobs are good for quite a while. But one item that's a bit better and lasts for 3 hours is Coeurl Saute.

Stats: STR +5, AGI +1, INT -2, Attack +20% (or Maximum Cap: Attack +75), HP Regen While Healing +1

To make:
Cooking (87)
* Crystal: Fire
* Black Pepper x1 (~300g)
* Coeurl Meat x1 (Farm this, or 600g-1k)
* Grape Juice x1 (~800g)
* Honey x1 (Farm this, or it's 200-400gg)
* Olive Oil x1 (~100g)
* Rock Salt x1 (~14g)
* Selbina Butter x1 (60g~? I forget)
* Wild Onion x1 (Farm this, or 500-600g)

So all in all that probably wouldn't be /too/ expensive.

Ah, that looks good, too! It wasn't on MT's chart that I saw.

Woo woo, thanks!

Eeee, forgot to reply to this...

Mobs get really damn hard to hit post-50. You're gonna want that life belt. Tho, you could possibly bring both, see how well you're landing hits, and then swap them out? I have a +STR ring that I actually swap for one of my snipers right now if I'm hitting 95% of the time or more. Sushi helps a LOT with my accuracy X3 (To the point that I build TP almost 100% faster when I'm eating it as opposed to not...)

DRGs get Accuracy Bonus though, and DRKs don't... I have no idea. :x I mostly load my earrings with +Attack and my rings/belt/neck with Accuracy...

Need more STR. >< My damage range is 25-80. ; ;

Yeah, I did think maybe things get harder to hit as we get higher in levels. Well, I guess I can buy or save for the life belt now! Once I can wear the snipers, I can free up two safe spots by selling off my current balance rings +1 (or send them to a mule for THF leveling, I guess...).

Woo! (smooch*
